Water temperature
regulation
In a regulation cycle, the sys-
tem first generates water flow
through the heater housing
and the plumbing, in order to
ensure accurate water tempe-
rature readings as well as avoi-
ding heater activation in dry
conditions. After verifying
pump activation and taking a
water temperature reading if
required, the system automa-
tically turns the heater on to
reach and maintain water
temperature at Set Point.
The “heater” indicator lights
up when the heater is on.
Indicator flashes when taking
water temperature reading.
